Right. Lost in translation. Sometimes we have to pick it out as it goes along.

So you are disappointed.

Yes. I don't mean each group as a whole, but individuals.

Of course. Therefore, the argument of being for or against then becomes and has become ridiculous.

When I originally read your statement, it read like this to me: "I see some holding standards, and those who are against them failing God miserably........" My first inclination was that you were saying some were holding standards, but those who were against them were failing God miserably........
Now, I see what you're saying, and I agree with you.

Well, we agree on this!
But, to many, the argument "for or against standards" is anything but ridiculous.
The standards are the issue, not the holiness of the heart, which is the TRUE issue.
